Let's be real – 2023 (and now 2024) has felt like one giant dumpster fire. So when I saw these Dumpster Fire Sticky Notes, I knew I had to get them for my desk. And boy, do they deliver on the laughs!
The little green plastic dumpster is surprisingly well-made for a 3D printed item. From afar, you'd never guess it wasn't injection molded. It's the perfect size to hold the two pads of flame-shaped sticky notes (one yellow, one red) that come with it.
Here's where things get funny/unexpected: These might be the world's first sticky notes that are better as decor than actual functional items. The adhesive is... let's say 'enthusiastic' about making the notes curl into little fireballs when you pull them out, but then refuses to stick properly to surfaces. I've had notes blow off my monitor from just the AC breeze!
But here's the thing – nobody buys this expecting premium functionality. It's an office icebreaker that gets everyone laughing. My coworkers can't resist taking a 'flame' note every time they pass my desk. At $9.99, it's pricey for sticky notes, but cheap for daily entertainment.
Pro tip: Don't actually use up all the notes unless you want an empty plastic dumpster on your desk (sad trombone sound). This is more of a 'look but don't touch' novelty item that perfectly captures our collective existential dread in office supply form.
